Yeah, nothing like the last minute, I know. I'll have to look for the design board you mention and check it out.

WOW! Everything is so cute! It was fun to meet you at Epcot. Your DD is so adorable!!!! My friend even commented on how well behaved she was through out the entire American Adventure show!

I have to tell you something bizare that happened to me at that show....I felt an itch on my head and there was a bug in my hair. When I pulled the bug out it bit my finger. I think it was an ant as my friend had one crawling on her while we were sitting outside before the show. The wierd thing is I had a hat on outside. I didn't want you to think I was some kind of crazy scratching my head throughout the show. I'm itchy now just thinking about it.

Hi! Thanks! It was really great meeting you too! You were my first Dis meet ever!! My daughter was really awesome all week! And we did everything. Even Wednesday on, when she started teething a molar, she was really good. I can't wait to go back with her when she's a little older.

I didn't notice any itching! Silly Florida bugs!

So excited I can burst...tomorrow morning we get to tell Gianna we are going to Disney World & then hop on a plane & go!! I will keep my eyes open for other disboutiquers...I know someone else is going at the same time & I think we are at 1900 PF at the same time. If you see a fresh 7 year old girl giving her parents a run for their money wearing customs that will be me so stop by & say HI!

Was it you I ran into at 1900 Park Fare?? My daughter was the little one sleeping with the Steps dress on. I forgot to get the name of the mom and daughter I saw, so I was just wondering. Either way, hope you had a great trip!

Well ladies, there's nothing like waiting til the last minute to finish, but I did get the rincess and the frog customs done in time to see the movie tomorrow- Yeah!

Here they are: I know it seems crazy to make summer weight clothes, but I wanted them for our Disney trip this summer, too- so they'll wear long sleeves under them tomorrow.

Yep, it was me with the tutorial. I really like it - so simple and perfect for Tiana! I really like the ribbon you used! We didn't get to see Tiana (my daughter had some teething issues that day), but I plan on washing the custom and having her wear it to the movie.

We got back from WDW Thursday night. We had a great time, but boy was it warm! I was really hoping we'd have some cooler temps (we had snow in Houston 2 days before we left!) I haven't been through our pictures yet. I did get pics of DD's outfits posted to my blog before we left... http://karamatdesigns.blogspot.com and I'll probably do a mini-trip report there.

It was warm Mon-Wed, but Thursday and Friday were very cool and cloudy! We didn't really complain, but we did talk about being cold. Of course we came back to 20 degree weather, so now I wish we were back!!!!

 

[froggy33]

Well, we're back! We had a wonderful time! I am already planning out our next trip, even though we probably won't go back until May 2011. I'd like to do a land/sea vacation on the new Disney Dream!!

I'll post a mini trip report with customs when I get my pics loaded on the computer!

I was happy to get back sewing - I made a belle custom for my neighbor yesterday. They left today - and I am jealous! And I am getting ready to make my first custom for a client! I am excited and nervous - mostly about the fit since I won't ever see her in person. I think though, now that I have a little time, I may start selling my designs - most likely on Etsy. I got a lot of comments at Disney and it really boosted my confidence! I couldn't do it without you ladies (and Tom). You always have such good tips!

Thanks bunches!

Wow, send me some of your energy, please.

Well, it's mostly herbal diet pills and yeah, we'll see what actually gets done. I seem to have an attention deficit when it comes to sewing.

Alot of stores around here have this right now for holiday baking.. it isn't really bulk, but it is bigger than normal. Cinnamon is kinda expensive too, but I guess you can use the cheap brand for this huh?
I want to make some now too.

 

[aksunshine]

That's what I was thinking...Cheaper is better for scout projects. Thanks!

I bought mine at Big Y, its a big plastic container and it was at the end of the row.
fyi- my cousin made these last year and the recipe she had used a fair amount of glue and they didnt dry for a week.
I have also seen recipes with clove, allspice,nutmeg

I was wondering--those of you who do not have an embroidery machine--where do you get your applique patterns from? Would you just use a coloring book page as a guide?

Also, still wondering if anyone has any advice about a sewing cabinet as I think my previous question got lost in all the postings--only got one response.

I usually use a coloring book page for my appliques. Peice it together like a puzzle.

I keep most of my sewing "accessories" on a bookshelf and my machine I sit on top with a cover to keep the dust off. But to tell the truth, most of the time I have it on the dining room table. I don't even know why we have a dining room , we never use it.

Hi All,
I am fortunate enough to live not too far from Jennifer Paganelli's home. Which means I had to honor of seeing her home while I checked out her "Holiday Sale". My main reason for going was to meet Carla (Scientific Seamstress of YCMT) In fact, I loved it so much I went twice! Carla was SOOOOO sweet, she's so cute too and she was wearing one of her creations- a cute dress- Molly?? was the pattern name maybe. I had so much fun chatting with her and I bought one of her dollies to give to Hannah for Christmas (made with Sis Boom fabrics of course) with a face like Raggedy Ann. She was so busy cutting fabric for everyone. But still had time to discuss a pattern question I had and she GAVE me a couple of her super cool new pattern formats- on cd, can't wait to show my local quilt shop and beg them to carry them. I have to make the baby bubble for SURE for Hannah for Disney world.
The first day I bought the fabric megan is wearing below, along with another I have not used yet. The second day I returned and purchased fabric to make a Patricia tunic for my Mom for Christmas)
Im just sorry I didnt get to meet Louie!
Its been ages since I have done the portrait peasant dress- I forgot how easy and fun it is!
It's been really hard for me to sew like I used to with the baby and Hannah. But I had this done in a weekend.
Megan (due for a hair cut!!!)


and for here is the gown Crystal made for Megan for Halloween. I never would have been able to get this done in time and it came out perfect!

the back

why yes, that is a baby unicorn...
(store bought)


thanksgiving...sorry I dont seem to have a photo of her wearing it, and it looks so much better on.
(I did get around to pulling out gathering stitches)

Would those of you that pray please say a prayer for my brother? He was tragically struck and killed by a car Friday night. My Dad died 12/12/67 when I was 6 years old so my brother was like a Dad to me.
